Black and White Tweed Suit Silkstone BFM

I was waiting for the Barbie Collectors' Club to start up again before ordering. Barbie.Com sold out and the Club is another story. I have a feeling it's not going to happen at all.
A few doll dealers still have her. I purchased mine from Cheryl's Dolls & Collectibles whose price was $69.95. She shipped very quickly. Just ignore the evangelist christian literature she encloses with your merchandise. Not kidding. What is it with these people?
Here is one of Mattel's promo close-ups compared to a close-up of mine.

Is mine a little wall-eyed? The promo shots are always perfect, aren't they?

Sorry to say this, but Cheryl from Cheryl's dolls is not only a zealot with her evangelical crap, but she is also completely incompetent. In fact, I think she is actually senile. I have received some bizarre emails from her when I pre-ordered things. Like she would confirm and then cancel on me a month later. And then out of the blue I would get an email confirming a doll she had cancelled on me months ago. And one time she blatantly lied about not having a doll, until I said I would order another one from her, then all of a sudden she had it again. She has cancelled on long awaited IT pre-orders and what were grail dolls and later sold them on secondary market. I hear she has done the same to others. I would avoid her. In fact, there should be some kind of a Yelp review type of thing for doll dealers.

About this Silkstone: I got burned by the lacking quality of Silkstones last year so I am just scared to buy anything. What do you think of the quality? Is it what you were expecting?

Wow! I had no idea about Cheryl. Is this a common thing? I'm glad I got my doll with just a bit of evangelical stuff. Sorry you had that experience. As far as quality, this doll was what I expected - maybe even better. T

She's quite cute! I'm not usually one for Silkies but I did preorder her; I couldn't resist the red hair and the suit. (Thanks for posting these two together, too -- it reminded me I wanted to find a Walking Suit, I love that outfit!)

Black Holes

When I switched photo servers a few years ago, many of my images were lost in a black hole. If you are going back in time throughout my blog, you will come across these black holes. It's unfortunate but it would take me a huge amount of time to identify and republish the images. If there is a specific one you are very interested in, email me with the date of the post and I will try to get it for you.Thanks for your continued interest in my blog!Terri
